I actually took the week off from creating for the most part, too. I think it is good sometimes to just step back for a few days and let life inspire you and allow some ideas to pile up instead of just jumping right in. So, I let myself do that for the week, too. But, boy when I stepped back into my studio I was PRODUCTIVE! I had a great time!
This is the first of the projects I am excited to share with you!
Fairy Child was inspired by the White Glitter Challenge over at Gingersnap Creations. When I saw the challenge I knew I wanted to just COVER something with fabulous glitter, 'cause, well, that's just always a good plan. Just say'n. SO....I stumbled upon this old salt shaker in my studio, and the ideas began to form!
The child (Tyler) and the wings (Monarch Wings) are both Scrolls Work stamps. I also overstamped the wings with the Braker stamp from Scrolls Work. I love layering stamped images!
Here you can see a close up of the wing stamped on patterned paper and overstamped with the Braker image.
I pieced together the clothing using the Circa 1934 line from Cosmo Cricket. I love how these papers worked so well for this!
So, there you have The Fairy Child. Love? Yes. Love super lots? Totally. Just say'n.
AND...I just wanted to tell you guys about, THIS, too!!!!
Check it out at WWW.SCROLLSWORK.COM!
Anyway, it's good to be back!
Jingle Out! HAHAHAHA!!!!
